Bella expressed her desire to return, but she faced continued rejections. “I kept hearing no about my chance to come back until Nick reached out,” she explained. This unexpected call from Khan marked a turning point for her.

Reflecting on her situation during Thanksgiving, Bella said, “I kind of just started to look at 2026 differently.” At that point, she considered other opportunities and felt the door to wrestling had closed. However, Khan’s outreach reignited her hope and determination.

Brie’s sister, Nikki Bella, also shared her experience with Khan’s call, describing it as life-changing. The twins have since expressed their ambition to capture the Women’s Tag Team titles, currently held by Rhea Ripley and IYO Sky.
